TOOLS: What is an AeroPress?

It has been almost a decade since Mr Alan Adler of the US decided to launch a quick brew, super clean, exceptionally simple method of brewing coffee. In Black Market Roasters view, it’s the love child of a Plunger and a Chemex. Read our Brew Guide below.

With this new brewing device your coffee will be ready to drink in less than 2 minutes! 
The simplicity of the methods allows for extractions at home, in the office or overnight at a hotel. 
This is an unique brewing style that allows for the use of a finer grind if desired, maximising the depth of flavour and applies pressure to squeeze out every last ounce of coffee from the grinds. It uses a micro-filter to maximise the clarity of the coffee, removing those grounds or ‘fines’ you get when making plunger coffee.
